The Potter Twins

12.

The next I found myself walking through an opening in the forest walking alongside Professor Lupin. We were talking about what had happened and how him and Harry had this same conversation the day before.

"I have a question, and its a really weird one if you don't mind me asking about it.." I said trailing off looking at my feet while we ventured through the various plants and trees that stood around us.

"Go ahead." He swiftly answered as he turned his head to look at me and give me a smile.

"On the train in the beginning of the year.. when we first met..?" I said almost as if it were a question. "Although I knew I never seen you before I felt like I had definitely knew you..." He stopped in his tracks and looked down at me. "What I'm trying to say I feel this connection and I don't know what it is. But something inside me is telling me that I do know you, and for some reason had meant a lot to me. But how come I don't remember?" He turned his attention to his feet and sat there for a while. "professor?" I asked snapping him out of his thoughts. He recoiled and looked up at me.

"I was bestfriends with your parents. James, Peter, Me, and Sirius were all bestfriends.." He said trailing off.

"As in Sirius Black?" He nodded his head and opened his mouth to speak again before I cut him off. "That brings me too my next question. This connection that I feel with you... I um, also feel with him.. But I don't know why. Isn't he trying to kill Harry and I? For some odd reason I have that feeling that I just don't want him to die, or part of me doesn't believe that he was the one who sold out harry and I's parents and killed all those muggles, and most importantly I find myself wanting to save him. Just like with you but I just don't know why."

"that's because.. Sirius and I are um.." He said trying to find the right words.

"Are what?"

"well, when you and harry were born.. They made Sirius you and Harrys godfather.." My jaw dropped and I couldn't help but just stand there in disbelief. "You were a mischievous child, I remember your dad joking around saying you were gonna be just like us when you got to your teenage years.. fun, wicked, and mischievous. Constantly pulling pranks on eachother." I smiled up at him trying to hold back all the emotions that were currently running through me.

It was finally the weekend. Hailey referred the previous week to be the weirdest week that she has had in a while. With the confusion of why Draco was acting the way he was, the sudden brotherly love that she got from Harry after he had pretended she didn't exist, and most importantly her feelings towards cedric. Today was the day of the execution of Buckbeak.

-Hailey's POV-

Thanks to Malfoy and his overdramatic self, he made Buckbeak get a death sentence. It was happening today, and I just didn't know what to do. Ive grown a soft spot for the animal since my first encounter with him. No doubt was I just gonna let this slide with Malfoy, I absolutely hated him for it, he knew how I felt for the creature and still insisted on telling his lame excuse of a father.

I was walking with Harry, Ron and Hermione when we spotted Draco and his friends lurching over the rocks and looking down at Hagrid's hut. Which is where they were gonna execute him. Hermione stormed down there, me by her side just as angry and whipped out her wand.

"AH come to see the show?" He teased when he turned around and met eyes with mine. That were currently piercing through the depths of his soul.

"YOU! you foul loathsome evil little cockroach!" Hermione yells whipping her wand and pointing it right at his neck, he did nothing but whimper.

"HERMIONE NO! Hes not worf it." Ron says trying to beckon her off.

"He may not be, but he deserves to be punished." I say scowling at the boy, his eyes verting to mine and giving me a pleaded look, I gave him a quick smile and then scowled. After a while she pulled her wand away hesitantly and they started walking away. I just stood there giving him one last stank eye before whipping around, only to be turned back around due to his laughter. Without thinking I turned around and punched him as hard as I could in his nose. Thus making all of them run off like cowards. Like I said, I really hated him right now and I was determined to let him know that. The three of them gave me a couple praises and we made our way down to Hagrids hut.
